CHALLENGE: Gap Inc. partnered with Article One to update its Human Rights Policy to better align with evolving standards and expectations put forth by the UN Guiding Principles on Business & Human Rights.

Our work with Article One helped us evolve our Human Rights policy and approach in a thorough and focused way. We appreciated their deep expertise and ability to move this important work forward quickly and effectively.

Approach

In order to focus Gap Inc.’s human rights commitments on the company’s most salient human rights issues, Article One first conducted a corporate Human Rights Impact Assessment (HRIA). Following a desk review of existing policies, processes, and industry-wide risks, we interviewed over 20 internal and external expert stakeholders to determine Gap Inc.’s most salient human rights risks and opportunities.
